EXHIBITION PARK CORPORATION

Purpose

The Exhibition Park Corporation (the Corporation) was established under the Exhibition Park Corporation Act 1976. The major goals of the Corporation are to manage, develop and maintain a multipurpose exhibition and event centre of national standard to meet the requirements of the Corporation’s major clients, the community of the ACT and the surrounding region.

The Corporation aims to promote the use of the Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC) complex and increase public awareness of the facilities and services available with a view to optimising revenue and continuously improving operational efficiency.

Additionally, the Corporation endeavours to ensure:

  • operational self-sufficiency through increasing revenue from events and other activities and expanding the client base;
  • that the highest standard of service is provided to all clients and patrons while minimising costs; and
  • that all buildings and grounds are maintained to a standard commensurate with a high profile facility located in the National Capital.

2012-13 Priorities

Strategic and operational issues to be pursued in 201213 include:

  • identifying and implementing investment and commercial opportunities at EPIC including leasing land along Morisset Street and the leasing of the Service Station site;
  • continuing EPC’s rejuvenation program for the site, with the proposed development of a strategic management plan including a land use master plan;
  • progressing the development of EPIC’s low budget tourist accommodation for patrons of EPIC’s events, school and sporting groups, and the touring public;
  • upgrading the Conference Centre and Parkes Room in order to continue to meet hirer, audience and community expectations;
  • continuing to increase occupancy at EPIC’s camping/caravan site through a targeted marketing strategy;
  • ensuring the venue continues to provide excellent customer service to clients, enabling the assurance of future business;
  • ensuring continuous improvement of environmentally sustainable measures;
  • attracting new major and high yield events; and
  • providing a safe, clean, comfortable and secure environment.

Notes to the Budget Statements

Significant variations are as follows:

Operating Statement
  • user charges –nonACT Government:

–the increase of $0.352 million in the 201112 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to improved trading across various revenue sectors including events and camping revenue; and

–the increase of $0.169 million in the 2012-13Budget from the 2011-12 estimated outcome is due to the estimated increased patronage during the Centenary of Canberra Celebrations.

  • other revenue: the increase of $0.175 million in the 2011-12 estimated outcome from the original budget and the decrease of $0.175million in the 2012-13Budget from the estimated outcome is due to a one-off contribution from the service station lessee for works associated with the redevelopment of the site.
  • employee expenses: the increase of $0.433 million in the 201112 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to an increase in staffing, partially offset by a reduction in contractors.
  • supplies and services:

–the increase of $0.216 million in the 201112 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the increased costs associated with additional events, maintenance required to maintain ageing infrastructure and the implementation of measures to ensure ongoing compliance with safety regulations; and

–the decreaseof $0.147 millionin the 2012-13 Budget from the 2011-12 estimated outcome is due to lower water costs following the commissioning of the nonpotable water tanks and reduced compliance expenses.

Balance Sheet
  • cash and cash equivalents: as noted above in supplies and services.
  • receivables: the increase of $0.195 million in the 2011-12 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the timing of debtor collections based on the average monthly sales in the last quarter of the financial year.
  • property, plant and equipment: the increase of $1.174 million in the 2012-13 Budget from the 2011-12 estimated outcome is due to the completion of capital works projects.
  • payables: the increase of $0.304 million in the 2011-12 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the timing of invoicing from creditors for projects due for completion at the end of the financial year.
